JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default Warning rigid light was easy to steal

Ad my 20" led light bar stolen. Thieves broke the aluminum brackets and cut the wires. Don't know if I'll replace. If so I'll have some metal brackets welded up.

Damn... I'm sorry man. I myself have been worried about my lights being stolen as well. Just noticed someone tried to cut the pad lock I use to lock my spare tire...
This has always concerned me. I've thought about it before. A lot of the exterior aftermarket parts we install can easily be stolen in under a minute.

The factor55 nuts certainly wouldn't have helped there. Theft of the lights was a concern of mine but honestly anything can be removed from the vehicle with relative ease. The light probably took 60 seconds (since they had to break the brackets) but you could have easily lost the entire front bumper in just 5-10 minutes while you were sleeping.

I sympathize with you since my vehicle has been broken into literally 15 feet from my window while I was asleep in a 4 hour time period. It sucks and short of welding everything on, there's not much we can do. If they can't steal it then usually they'll get pissed and destroy it or destroy other items.

I've had ppl try to steal the tool box off my old Dodge Ram, my Honda Accord was stolen from right in front of my house (worst feeling of my life, vehicle wise) and my current rubi has been broken into just last year. I worry about my lights as well as I have a shit ton of them and there nothing we can really do to truly make them "theft proof" I'm sorry this happened to you. Just know that there are still some good people out there too. :thumbup:
